GoogleEarth
Honestly, did you think I was going to rant about this? This is a rave, sucka.
I am constantly amazed at how awesome of program this is. For FREE. Today's amazement? Well I turned on the 3D buildings in the new version, expecting the old gray boxes they used to have. Nope. Now the buildings are incredibly realistic, using overlays from (I assume) Google Street View.
Best free product ever?

EDIT: I actually use Google Earth quite a bit for work purposes, so it's more than just a toy. It also is an excellent vacation planning tool.
